Thrifty!

What? Another Ben Seibel piece of Jenfred-ware?

From the same thrift store I hauled in all those other pieces?

This large bowl is “Modern in the tradition of good taste”. Especially for $2.99.

Still no bookends though

Thrifty!

Let’s Dansk!

I picked up some vintage Dansk Kobenstyle cookware at a weirdo religious thrift store. These are the latter French production pieces, but I still love me some Jens Quistgaard design action. I have a turquoise pitcher and a small yellow pot (like this) that I never got around to posting about, but slowly and surely I’ve got to catch them all.

There is a bit of damage to the enamel, but otherwise they are in pretty good shape and only cost $10.

Thrifty!

When I picked up this little mid century desk lamp I thought it might be designed by Gerald Thurston for Lightolier. I have a floor lamp by Thurston that I picked up ages ago that still needs to be rewired. A closer look reveals this thrifted light to be something else entirely.


(The actual Gerald Thurston lamp)

Now I have no clue what this little light could be.

But it was $3, totally brass and super sassy.
